Hi guys from xda,
I often get the problem of tiles not working after using my surface RT for some time.
I am still able to scroll around and live tiles are still working therefore it isn't the tablet hanging, or anything that has stop responding.
Tapping on any tiles just would not launch the app.
I'm wondering if anyone have the same problem as me ????
Please help!
Thank you

Oddly enough this happened to me for the first time yesterday. The Google app quite working and crashed, and after that Google and the Store app wouldn't respond to a tab to open. I don't remember if I tried anything else. Desktop apps still would open. System was feeling rather sluggish too. I hadn't rebooted in quite awhile though. A reboot fixed it, but I too am curious if there was a way to resolves this sans reboot. I suspect some process related to the Google app got stuck, but I don't know what was up with the Store...
I'm having this really weird issue with these two apps for a while. Basically I would keep getting connection error in the Play store or on Youtube every few minutes or so, then I would retry and everything would be back to normal. Odd thing is that I can have a browser open in a side window and go to google or any other website just fine while this issue happens. I'm not sure if there's more google apps affected. Hell one time it was so bad that Youtube refused to load for a good minute or so, I opened a pen window for the browser, loaded up the same youtube video in there and it started playing before the app even loaded it (kept giving me connection error).
I have Adblock Plus running in the background so I wonder if that's what's doing this..but it seems odd for it to affect these apps.
Any ideas to fix this?

I don't have Adblock but I have issues with YouTube App aswell. It works most of the time flawlessly but sometimes like you it seems to take to long to load so what I do is close the app fully then launch it again and it works fine, I also had another weird issue of whenever I played a video in full screen and changed the tablets orientation it would dim the brightness to 0% (even changing the screens brightness to 100% wouldn't cause the app to brighten up) and hoy a "small weird box with what looked like signal bars next to it", this hasn't happened the last few times I used the tablet but its just bizarre so deffo something is up with the App that's for sure.
"Error occurred while loading widget. Remove widget and add again" message on rotate
Hello all,
I'm getting an error message: "Error occurred while loading widget. Remove widget and add again." whenever I rotate my S 10.5.
I am stock, rooted and running default Touchwiz.
I have tried uninstalling all of the widgets I have on the homescreen (1Weather, Power Toggles, and Xperia Clock) but that didn't seem to help. I have also downloaded another launcher and it still occurred while I had that one set to default. Changing it back to Touchwiz didn't help either.
Anyone experiencing something similar or have any advice? Doesn't seem to be much online about this issue (this was the only thread I found: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...witching-between-portrait-landscape-mode.html
Thank you in advance and have a great day.
I am also having the same problem. I've tried everything except a full restore. I'm using the launcher that came installed on the tablet (touchwiz.) It doesn't really affect the performance of the tablet but it's pretty annoying. Hopefully someone will have a fix before I reset it.
Uninstall Watch on App
I have an 8.4" Samsung Galaxy Tab S tablet running the Google launcher. The error message goes away if you uninstal the Samsung app WatchOn. Uninstalling should be no problem, it is not embedded Samsung bloatware that is impossible to get rid of.
I'm having the same issue out of the blue. Running stock without root. I read somewhere it's the Watch On app but I disabled mine and it's still happening.
Hi,
So I offer this phone to my wife this xmas and everything was going smooth until we found this issue:

The bottom screen does this flickering when typing with Swiftkey keyboard on some apps. This one is Doggcatcher but it happens on other apps too.
If I swap to GBoard it does not happen. We're on Android Pie 9.0.
Has anyone found this issue?
Seems like a graphic bug in that specific keyboard.
Please, i need help.
Evaluate for yourself whether it is related to this topic.
Occasionally, graphical glitches appear on my Mi A2 lite, (4/64, Android Pie, December update, locked bootloader, no root, intact system).
In most cases, they flickering all over the screen, and in some other cases they are frozen, as is shown in attachment.
They are completely random and they appear through many applications that i use.
I can not determine the cause.
Does anyone else have a similar problem?
me... on chrome and all app that use webview... during call status bar is flickering... when switch to the camera in whatsapp with swipe to set status... and other
Something similar here, if Facebook Messenger chat head is overlaying YouTube it flickers a lot (only the actual video but the description and recommend are always working without flicker also no problems in fullscreen), less often it happens with Chrome and sometimes YouTube does it without Facebook Messenger even being open (Android Pie Dec. 5) [also it didn't happen for the first few weeks with 8.1 then Pie got released and worked well for some days then this started to happen]
I have that problem , the notification bar flickers a lot and when on video calls, it shows a black flickering rectangle at the bottom of the screen
Hi, I've got the same problem here. For me, the flickering appears when the keyboard is open, and get faster while typing, please does someone know how to fix that?

It is true that it is the keyboard, my keyboard developer is fixing the bug making it do that as we speak but in my case the whole screen flashes black instead of the little box you have
The problem with the flickering screen in some apps like Youtube, Chrome or Instagram can be fixed as follows:
Go to Developer Options and activate "disable hw overlays"
However, the setting must be set again after every Phone restart.

Isn't that bad long term?
"Without a hardware overlay every application that is displaying things on the screen will share video memory and will have to constantly check for collision and clipping to render a proper image, this can cost a lot of processing power. With a hardware overlay each application gets its own portion of video memory, getting rid of the need to check for collision and clipping."

Mine was having same flickering, checked HW overlays. It was disabled by default, I enabled it and now working perfectly. Thanks alot
Has any one noticed a lag while doing the following:
1. Opening phone app at recent tab section and trying to scroll down immedialtely after opening.
2. Opening the contact app and scrolling down immediately after opening.
After the 1st scroll, there is no lag.
Thanks
Friends your feedback will be highly appreciated...i am curious to know if this slight stutter is normal or is due to something else which may require factory reset
I haven't noticed any lag on my Note 10+, SD 512GB.
Yes, I get it, it looks like it's loading everything that isn't on the initial screen.
It only does it if the app hasn't been opened for a while. No issues if I go into them afterwards.
Well, no lag or stutters here
